CHAMPIONS PLAY LIKE CHILDREN
JEFFRIES TAKES LAYOFF AND ENTERTAINS WOLGAST AND A
PARTY OF FRIENDS
Both Get Good Workout in Hot Sun, Chasing Batted Balls About
Big Lot Back of Champ's Home and Both Good Naturedly Pose
for Several Camera Fiends—Big Boy Resting Before Start
ing Upon Light Training Monday—Langford and
Flynn Hitting Up Lively Pace at Their Camps.
Austin and Carroll Are Matched at Portland
Teffrtes cut out an mnaner of tratr.ir.fr yesterday for a big rest before
.1 entering upon the regular routine that he will begin Monday morning,
when he begins light training again. He put In the entire day at home,
■working about tho house until in the afternoon, When he received Ad
Wolgast and a party of friends, Including several business men. who vis
ited him After the party arrived, Jeff got out a ball and bat and several
well-worn mitts and for a long time ho and Wolgast and a few friends got
a good workout in the hot sun, chasing batted balls about tho big lot
back of his home.
It was intended that Jeff and Wolgast engage in a friendly boxing
stunt, but tho lightweight champion and his parly were delayed In getting to
Jeff's home and the afternoon was turned into a big frolic instead. Photog
raphers were more numerous than usual and consumed a lot of time In
posing the two champions, who good-naturedly did all sorts of stunts to
MMM the camera men. The meeting between the largest and smallest
■world champions was cordial, as usual, and the big fellow played with the
baby champion much tho same as a lion would play with a cub. The con
trast in size of the two champions was so great as to cause Involuntary
emiles from those who were present while they were doing their various
stunts.
Jeff la getting ready to follow out a systematic routine of work every
day from Monday on until after he breaks training Just previous to tho day
of his fight with Johnson and the few days that he Will rest before taking
tip training again will be passed in work about his home and arranging for
this resumption of work. Hob Armstrong, whom Van Court and other
boxing authorities say is one of the best men Jeff could have secured to
help him in training for the fight wit h Johnson, will report to the unbeaten
champion Monday morning and put in half a day with him until after the
Flynn-Langford fight, when ho will be tree to work all day and night with
the big fellow if the latter should so desire.
Langford Hitting Up Hot Pace
Langford has begun training at Arcadia under the direction of Manager
Joe Woodman and la hittinir up such a hot pace in the early days of train
ing that there should bo no question regarding his condition when he enters
the ring March 17 to reverse the. verdict rendered against him in the last
fight witH Flynn. To reverse this verdict is till one thought and ambition
now, as he feels keenly the sting of defeat and realizes that it Is up to him
to whip the fireman so decisively that there will be no further question as
to which of them is the better fighter or lose in preotlge, which any negro
tighter knows would be fatal to future chances at big money in the ring.
Langford did twelve miles on the road in the forenoon yesterday and
put in more than an hour In the outdoor gymnasium in the afternoon. He
punched the bag for twenty minutes, tossed the medicine ball for fifteen min
utes more and after doing a few stunts with pulleys and weights, wound
up the day's work with twelve rounds of fighting, not boxing, With Bob
Armstrong, Arthur Collins and Young Kenny. Sam has added the abdom
. ip'al exercises that Jeff uses so much to his dally routine, and he tried this
' fifteen times during the afternoon, before going on for the boxing bouts.
It wag an excellent workout and Indicates Just how hard Sam is trying to
I into shape for a gruelling battle,
Flynn Rounding Into Best Form
While the negro may be doing some tall hustling in his training camp,
he is doing no more than Jim Flynn, Who is working harder and more con
sistently than he ever worked before in nil his fighting career. Jim takes
training seriously now, something unusual for him, and he Is showing the
good effects of his hard work In the excellent appearance he presents when
stripped and In the manner in which he handles himself during the work
outs. He takes long runs on the road every morning to Improve his wind and
S harden himself and works for an hour or more In the open air ring at
iJoyle'g club every afternoon. He has been doing this for several days and
Is fast rounding into perfect condition.
After the usual preliminary work yesterday afternoon he took on Dick
Allen, the big heavyweight, for five rounds. He then went three rounds with
Harry Winter and a like number with George Blake, referee and boxing In
structor. Flynn does not like to talk much about his weight, but his friends
may depend upon it that he will go into the ring with no disadvantage In
this regard. He seems to be getting heavier all the time a.nd probably will
have a few pound! advantage over Langford when they toe the scratch.
Young Kenny Matched for His Debut
Matchmaker Hancock yesterday completed the card for March 17 by ar
ranging two preliminary events. Frankle Sullivan and Kid Cleveland
were brought to terms for a ten-round bout at 120 pounds, weight to be
made at 10 O'clock the morning of the fight. Young Kenny, the fighting
lightweight whom Joe Woodman brought hero from Boston, accepted terms
offered for a six-round session with Ai Rogers at catchwelghts, which means
about 142 pounds each, and the fans will have an opportunity to nee a main
['event scrapper doing a preliminary stunt. Kenny has whipped such crack
erjactts as Young Erne, Dave Deshler, Kid Goodman and others of that
clan and he only accepted a preliminary engagement in order to show the
fans what sort Of a tighter lip is. If he makes good he will ask for a
match with George Memalc or some other topnotch lightweight and MeCarey
has promised to give him a chance. Kenny is taking a big chance In go
ing on with Rogers at catchweights, but he says that he has not had time
to become acclimated and prefer* the catehwelght proposition to making
■weight bo early after bis arrival.
Jimmy Austin Accepts Portland Offer
Jimmy Austin, the globe-trotting 106-pounder who has to go away from
home to get a match, accepted an offer yesterday to fight ten rounds nt
Portland with Jimmy Carroll, thn 'Frisco crack, and will leave for tho
northwestern city Sunday. The fight is scheduled for March 18 and the
boys will meet at 115 pounds at 6 o'clock the evening of the light. Jimmy
is giving away a hunk of weight to Carroll, more in fact than he should
do, as Carroll Is one of the cleverest and fastest boxers of his weigh) on the
coast. However, Austin snys he has been forced to give away from rive to
fifteen pounds nearly every time he has been matched and lie does not mind
taking a chance. Bob Laga, who made a champion out or Frankie Conley,
handled the negotiations for Austin, but says he a not managing- the kiddo^
having made ii.c match for him merely through friendship for him.

the support of one club, will play six
games a week, while the local South
ern California Trolley organisation, cit
which Jim McCorralek is the presi
dent, "ill play only Sunday ball. Ac
cording to this arrangement the
Southern California league should be
able to pay a higher salary average
than the local organisation, while the
playera In the latter, besides drawing
a nice little amount for their Sunday
work, will I" 1 able to keep up their
regular weekly work. To a player
who has the opportunity Of HsriinK
with either organisation it is a m.-a
--i. i ol whether he only wants to play
ball the season through or whether a
job with a game on Sunday Is the
thins in- wants. Managers of both
organization! will be getting busy im
inidutily and it will soon bo up to
the local amateur cracks who are
hefty enougH at the game to decide
which league to tie to.
